While doing a question and answer session with Texans voice Marc Vandermeer at the NFL owners meeting, McNair stammered an answer when probed about how little the Texans have done in free agency.

“Yeah, you just have to be patient,” the owner declared. “You can’t force things…it’s a very fluid situation.”

Those fluids haven’t exactly been flowing in Houston, where the Texans are the only NFL team yet to sign an outside free agent. Four players left for other opportunities and the Texans have only retained backup tight end Ryan Griffin.
